The system includes: stainless steel
tank, all required electric operated
valves, filters, gauges etc.
ELECTRIC INSTALLATION
Two separate 24 VDC battery circuits
supplied by the alternator of the
diesel engine, one for starting the
engine the other for the boardnet.
In engine room distribution board
and in operating cabin switch panel
for lights etc. Communication
between operating cabin and engine
room by PLC bus system. All cable
connections to dismountable parts
with plugs for quick (dis)assembly
without possibility of wrong
connections.
MISCELLANEOUS
■ Mooring lines, life saving equipment
■ Set of tools including impeller hook
and boatswain’s inventory
■ Start up spare parts
DREDGING INSTRUMENTATION*
■ Production calculation, existing of
• Velocity meter
• Concentration meter
• Yield indicator
■ Electronic revolution counter dredge
pump
■ Dredge Profile Indicator
■ Positioning/ survey systems
Further we can modify the design to
nearly any requirements
* This option requires a generator set
